How Many Kilometers Should Continental Tires Be Replaced After?

[BrynleeAnn]

Continental tires need to be replaced after 50,000 to 100,000 kilometers of use. Generally, tires should not be stored for more than 2 years from the date of production; tires older than 2 years are considered expired or treated tires. The following situations indicate that car tires need to be replaced promptly: 1. The tire is punctured or cracked. Once a tire is punctured, the internal wire structure is damaged, significantly increasing the risk of a blowout. However, in most cases, repair shops will recommend patching the tire if the puncture is on the tread and does not exceed three instances. 2. The tire sidewall is bulging. This indicates that the internal wire mesh in the sidewall has completely broken. 3. The tire is used under unconventional conditions, such as on track cars, or frequent hard acceleration and braking, leading to abnormal localized wear. Other scenarios include tires that are not used for long periods, causing deformation from bearing the vehicle's weight in one direction, or sidewall aging with numerous fine cracks. 4. The tire has been driven underinflated for an extended period, resulting in severe indentations on the tread. 5. Chassis malfunctions cause abnormal wear, such as uneven tire wear.
